I saw Sweet Melody on Instagram and had to give them a try. Prices are hard to find, so to save you some time- pints are $12 each, and buy 3 get 1 free. I decided take advantage of their deal and purchased 4 pints.
Hella Nutella- This flavor I found unique and delicious, and I really enjoyed it. True to its description, it was loaded with hazelnuts and brownies.
The texture was creamy but also sorta chewy. I didn't want to put it down. A must try if you like Nutella.
Kookie Monster- Unfortunately I was underwhelmed by this one. I got half way through the pint and found only one tiny Oreo piece and one tiny chocolate chip cookie piece. I found it to be on the watery tasting side. It lacked creaminess. It felt healthy, which if that is the case, then I guess that's a good thing. But if I was looking for a rich and decadent ice cream experience, it would not deliver. I also wasn't crazy about all the artificial blue dye. I did realize that it was dyed when I was getting it, but as I sat and ate the bright blue treat my health conscious mind kept screaming to stop it. It left my lips stained blue, and though I know the color is part of the fun, I think maybe it would be cool if they offered a natural version for those who want to avoid artificial dyes.
Cosmic Brownie - Also underwhelming. The flavor lacked richness and creaminess. It had a watery flavor to it. It had a good amount of brownies inside, so that was good and a saving factor. I didn't find many cosmic chips at all.
Jon Dough - This one was PACKED full of maple cookie dough, although the ice cream itself also lacked creaminess. I discovered that I'm not a fan of maple, too.
I really admire and respect what this small business owner is doing and wish him much success, but for me it was a miss. The prices are high. I spent $40 for 4 tiny PINTS of ice cream. I do believe it's handmade and the allure of different, super unique flavors each week is very cool. I'd pay this if the ice cream had tasted rich and creamy and wowed my tastebuds- but unfortunately it did not. If this is meant to be diet/low-fat then they are hitting their mark. If it's meant to be rich and decadent, then no.
